Chapter Eighty-Six: A Different Path, a Different Land, a Different Voice

The banquet is sumptuous, and all kinds of delicacies are available, and there are all kinds of dazzling. The vases placed in the side road are also very decent, and at a glance they only feel exquisite and elegant.

Jiang Lili snorted, "Isn't it just a place to eat? Who can show it if it's done so well? Can you eat two more bowls of rice?"

The steward laughed, not knowing for a moment what to answer.

After taking a seat, Jiang Lili looked at Wang Shan, "Don't you eat?"

Where did Wang Shan dare to be so unruly, and hurriedly said: "It's good for the villain to serve the adults next to him, where do you dare to dine with the adults?"

Jiang Lili snorted, "Don't eat it." ”

Just about to ask why there was no food in the bowl, another group of maids came, holding a delicate basin of water or a soft dry towel, Jiang Lili frowned, "What is this?"

The steward hurriedly explained: "Wash your hands before eating, this is the rule. ”

"Then if I don't obey the rules, can you kick me out?"

The steward was dumbfounded, "Don't dare, how dare you say irresponsible remarks to His Highness?"

"This is amazing?" Jiang Lili waved his hand impatiently.

The maids looked at each other, looked at the fat steward in embarrassment, and only dared to go down after they had been promised.

The food in the Nanyang Palace's Mansion is really good, the color, flavor and flavor are complete, Jiang Lili just took the first bite and couldn't stop, thinking that there was finally a good place in the Nanyang Palace. Sweeping away the dishes in front of him, Jiang Lili was about to add another bowl of rice when he suddenly felt a pain in his thigh.

lowered his head and found that Su Su was pinching him vigorously, so he scolded: "You girl is sick, you eat yours, what are you pinching me for?"

Su Su's face was red, and he leaned down on Jiang Lili and said viciously: "If you whisper, you will die!" At the end, he whispered: "You eat slowly, you leave me some!"

Jiang Lili was stunned, thinking to herself, didn't you eat the fastest before? glanced at Su Su's rice bowl, but didn't expect that Su Su had just finished half a bowl of rice at this time, and couldn't help but sneer: "What kind of big Eba wolf are you pretending to be? You can eat if you want, I'm in the way of you?"

Su Su turned his head and glanced at the fat steward who was trying his best to pretend to be serious, and then gritted his teeth and said, "I told you to be quiet! There are too many people next to me, you tell them to go away! Where are so many people embarrassed to let go of eating when so many people look at me?"

Jiang Liyan sighed, and the deep valley was a little bigger, "Do you know Sven now? Why don't you see you so thin-skinned in ordinary times?"

Su Su was annoyed and ashamed, and pinched all the strength of her body on the soft * flesh of Jiang Lili's waist, and then pretended to be casual, lowered her head and put a few grains of rice into her mouth.

Jiang Lili groaned, startling Wang Shan behind him. turned his head to stare at Su Su, but found that Su Su ignored him at all, as if a punch had hit the air, and there was nowhere to use his strength.

Despite the fire in her heart, Jiang Lili still scolded the fat steward, "Is Lao Tzu good-looking?"

The steward didn't know why, "Beautiful, good-looking!"

"Then Lao Tzu is with you every day, so that you can see if it is enough?"

The fat steward hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't dare, don't dare, villain don't dare!"

"Don't you dare, why don't you get out quickly? Lao Tzu has a meal, so many of you are staring at Lao Tzu and looking sick!"

Su Su sneered.

The fat steward was full of embarrassment, thinking that this master was really difficult to serve, and he no longer explained that the maids around him were all here to be sent by you, so he hurriedly glanced at those maids and ran out in a hurry.

Then Su Su let go, and the remnant clouds and wind swept Jiang Lili dumbfounded.

I have been eating for half an hour, and after waiting until all the dishes on the table are left, Su Su held her stomach and burped, "I can't eat, I can't eat, I really can't eat it now!"

Jiang Lili's lips trembled, and she swallowed a mouthful of saliva, thinking that it was really ,,, great luck that she was not eaten poor by her at that time!

The fat butler ran in with hindsight, and after looking at the leftovers on the table, he was also dumbfounded, pointing at the table tremblingly, but he couldn't hold back a word.

Su Su's face was a little red, but she stiffened her mouth and said, "What do you see? Jiang Lili has eaten all this! Where can I eat so much for a little girl?"

Jiang Lili was about to refute, but Su Su grabbed her thigh, bared her teeth and scolded the fat steward: "Why are you still stunned? Why do you just want a few of us to live here? Why don't you have any eyesight? You deserve to run errands for the rest of your life!"

The fat steward hurriedly said yes, and led Jiang Lili and a few people to the east courtyard, "Your Highness can pick it yourself, there is a room!"

Jiang Lili glanced at the fat steward, "What's the use of you if I pick it myself? Don't you know how to choose the best one for me?"

For the first time, the fat steward felt that he really couldn't serve people.

。。。

Nanyang Wangfu is very large, divided into five places: the middle hall, the east courtyard, the west chamber, the north building and the south garden. The middle hall is generally the place where the king of Nanyang handles affairs, and meals and sacrifices are also here. The east courtyard is the residence of the prince and concubine of Nanyang, and if you come to the distinguished guest at ordinary times, you also live in the east courtyard. The west chamber is the residence of servants and miscellaneous servants, and the firewood room and kitchen are also here, and the north building is a number of buildings such as the library pavilion, the martial arts training ground, and the viewing building, which do not live in people. Nanyuan is a place to enjoy the scenery such as flowing water gardens, and the gate of Nanyang Wangfu is also facing here.

After the fat steward took care of a lot of idle chores, he sighed and walked out of the east courtyard, only after walking a few steps he met the green ants, and hurriedly said hello.

Although the fat steward is responsible for managing the entire palace maids and miscellaneous servants, it is not enough to really meet a personal maid like a green ant.

The green ant smiled, said that there was no need to be cramped, and then asked, "Has Your Highness stayed?

The fat steward shook his head, "Your Highness has already stayed, and the little girl who is with Your Highness lives next door to Your Highness, and the middle-aged man who looks like a servant I led him to the West Chamber." It's just that His Royal Highness said that he didn't want a maid, saying that it was too ugly and an eyesore!"

"Too ugly?" the green ant was stunned, "What are the maids you arranged for him?"

The steward shouted again and again, "How dare I despise Your Highness? The servants I have arranged for Your Highness are all high-quality maidservants, all of whom are twenty-eight years old, and the water spirits will also serve people." But His Highness doesn't want anything, and I can't help it!"

The green ant only said that Jiang Lili was not used to being served, and he didn't delve into it, and nodded. After walking a few steps, he suddenly asked, "How do you feel about Your Highness?"

The fat steward didn't reply.

The green ant smiled: "It's okay, just say it directly." “

The fat steward hesitated for a long time, "It's easy to serve, but it's also hard to serve!"

The green ant smiled, "Your Highness has this temperament, so it's good if you don't care about him in normal times." ”

The fat butler muttered, "Where do you dare to care about him?"

The green ant asked Jiang Lili which room he lived in, and then walked quickly into the east courtyard, and after passing through a long corridor, he stopped in front of a courtyard in the shape of a four.

When he walked into this courtyard, he saw Jiang Lili squatting on the steps alone to watch the snow, so he walked over and saluted, "Your Highness." ”

Jiang Lili glanced at her, "Make a fart salute! When you are on the road, a little boy screams very smoothly, and you will know that you will call me Your Highness at this time?"

The green ant was dumbfounded, and after recalling it for a while, he remembered that he really didn't care about Jiang Lili calling His Highness some time ago, and he seemed to understand what the fat steward said meant by the phrase that it is easy to serve but difficult to serve.

Seeing that Jiang Lili didn't have any in-depth research at all, the green ant was relieved, and looked left and right, "Where is Su Su's girl?"

"Dead!"

The green ant said "Huh?", and then heard a sentence from the room, "Jiang Gou, you're dead!

Thinking that these two people were really the same, the green ant smiled bitterly and then asked, "What is Your Highness looking at here?"

Jiang Lili raised her head and glanced at the green ants: "What's the matter with you?"

The green ant only felt short of breath for a while, and silently told himself that the person in front of him was already His Royal Highness, and he could not exceed it, and pulled out a smile again: "Didn't you go to play with Jin'er and Shuang'er? The two of them are just afraid that they are very curious about your brother." ”

Jiang Lili sneered, "What do the two little boys know, what's the fun with them?"

The green ant knew that Jiang Lili was afraid that there would not be many good things to say at this time, so he didn't ask again.

Jiang Lili didn't make a sound, just paused here and looked at the snow in the yard.

After a long silence, the green ant asked, "Haven't your highness seen Madame?"

Speaking of this, Jiang Lili's face sank, "I said a long time ago, if I hadn't met you on the boat in early spring, Lao Tzu would have spent a month of winter in Qionghu Lake at this time!"

The green ant sighed and persuaded: "But no matter what, Madame is your mother, that's right!"

"Do I lack it?" Jiang Lili asked rhetorically.

The green ants were speechless.

Jiang Lili stood up and kicked on a small tree beside him that only left bare branches, and the snow accumulated on the trunk fell one after another.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Forced me to come here from Qionghu, but once I agreed? Nanyang Wangfu is really much more domineering than me! What kind of thing?"

The green ant was speechless, sighed and said, "If Your Highness wants to see Madame, it would be good to call the maid." ”

Jiang Lili squinted at the back of the green ant in the distance, and snorted coldly.

Looking up at the sky in Nanyang Palace, the more Jiang Lili thought about it, the more angry he became, he suddenly pulled out the tiger spirit from the scabbard, and swung the three knives straight out in one go!

After a moment of silence, the snow flakes!

Knife spirit!

A group of patrolling guards were startled, and they gasped as they looked at the plants that had been cut off in the entire courtyard, "Your Highness, has there ever been anything unusual?"

Jiang Lili took the tiger spirit back to the scabbard and was about to go back to the room, when he suddenly turned around, his eyes were inexplicable, "Do you know that there is an old man with extremely high cultivation in the mansion?

These guards didn't dare to care about Jiang Lili calling Sima Lan's name, and replied: "Your Highness is talking about Qin Lao! ”

"Nanyang Wangfu finally has a happy thing. Jiang Lili sneered, "Take me to see him!"

——————

According to the laws of the Great Sui, private prisons are not allowed in ordinary people's mansions, but what kind of place is the Nanyang Palace? The emperor's relatives and princes are all the emperor's elder brothers, so there can be no exceptions?

Although it is said in the newly promulgated law that the official violates the law from the third grade and above, the crime will be increased by one degree, and the crime of the Son of Heaven will be increased by the second degree, although it is not just nonsense to fool the people, but no one dares to check the residence of the king of Nanyang, not to mention that the king of Nanyang has always had an excellent reputation among the people, even if it is found out by a prosecutor who is not long-sighted, it will only be a big thing and a small matter under the public opinion of the people.

Besides, the task of being able to do the position of a prosecutor is without exception clear-eyed, so leave this thankless task to others to do.

The dungeon of the Anyang Royal Mansion is located in the north building, through a small corridor behind the library pavilion, you can see a wall, there is a mechanism on the wall, turn down a lion's head inlaid and smash the wall, you can hear the rumbling sound, and then look at the wall slowly pushed to both sides, a deep and quiet atmosphere spreads.

I had heard the kind of miserable howl in the mouth of the storyteller, but there was a slight smell of blood.

At the entrance of the passage, there were two soldiers in black armor, holding spears and scimitars at their waists, frowning slightly after the stone gate was pushed open, holding spears and facing people, shouting: "Who dares to break into my Nanyang Palace?

Before Jiang Lili could speak, a middle-aged man who looked like a guard soldier behind him hurriedly walked over, and threw two slaps on the helmets of the two jailers, "Blind, isn't it, this is Your Highness!

The two jailers guarding the passage of the dungeon didn't know what was going on outside today, they just looked at Jiang Lili's face very unfamiliarly, and looked at each other for a while, thinking to themselves Where did this come from, Your Highness, why haven't I seen it?

The guard captain's face turned pale, for fear that these two jailers who didn't know about foreign affairs would annoy Jiang Lili, so he hurriedly shouted again: "Look at your appearance of having no eyesight? This is the widow of the prince's exile, and he only returned to the palace today!

Some time ago, when some guards escorted Qin Lao into the dungeon, they heard some rumors, and the two jailers reacted, hurriedly put away their spears and bowed their heads, and said respectfully: "The villain doesn't know Mount Tai with his eyes, but he has seen His Royal Highness!"

The guard commander hurriedly explained to Jiang Lili: "Your Highness, these two little pawns have been in this dungeon all day and are dizzy, and they don't know the situation outside, please don't blame Your Highness!"

Jiang Lili snorted coldly, "If you don't have the eyesight to see something, it's not worth dying!" After that, he strode towards the dungeon, turned back to the guards who brought him to this dungeon and said, "Go back to patrol!" and said to the two jailers guarding the dungeon: "Come and follow me!"

The guard commander hesitated, "Your Highness, this Nanyang Mansion has rules, let's wait for you here in the villain's opinion, otherwise... ”

Jiang Lili scolded and scolded, "No fart! Your grandmother's Lao Tzu doesn't work if she speaks, doesn't it? If it doesn't work, Lao Tzu won't do this bullshit, Your Highness, go back to Qionghu to be my shopkeeper!"

The captain of the guard had heard that His Highness had a strange temper, where did he dare to abide by the rules of the Nanyang Palace? Hurriedly said: "Your Highness, don't worry, don't worry, the villain is leaving, this is leaving!" After that, he shouted to the jailer: "Do you hear, so I can lead the way for Your Highness!" Say what you should say, and don't say a word that you shouldn't say!"

"Eh, your grandmother, you know a lot, don't you? Tomorrow you don't want to be a soldier like this, can you come to this dungeon to be a jailer?"

As a jailer, there is no sunshine all year round, and there are not many benefits, except for some guards who have made big mistakes and new pawns who need to be honed, no one wants to be such a jailer, of course, those perverted tasks are another matter! At this time, the commander of the soldiers heard Jiang Lili's words, his face became bitter, and he hurriedly apologized.

Jiang Lili didn't bother to listen to the commander's words, waved his hand to signal him to leave, and then walked to the depths of the dungeon.

Candlesticks were placed on both sides of the dungeon, which were not lit, and Jiang Lili, who had just come in from outside, felt that his eyes were a little dark, and it took a long time to adapt to the dim environment of the dungeon.

The jailer cautiously followed Jiang Lili and asked, "Is Your Highness here to inspect or is you here to see someone?"

Jiang Lili said, "What about Old Qin? It's that old man, take me to see him!"

The jailer was stunned, "Your Highness, this is not compliant... Before he finished speaking, he saw Jiang Lili's annoyed eyes, and hurriedly changed his words, "Your Highness, this way, Elder Qin is here!"

After turning a corner, the sides are no longer walls, but cages. There were all kinds of people in the prison, such as a lame old man, a middle-aged man who was blind in two eyes, a big man covered in scars, and a young woman with a beautiful face but a black blindfold.

Jiang Lili raised his eyebrows and stopped in front of this dungeon.

The jailer hurriedly explained: "This woman was taken in the year before last, and she was an assassin who broke into the palace, and it is said that she is a remnant of the country. ”

Jiang Lili was a little interested, "Who did you kill?"

The jailer hesitated, "I'm here to kill His Royal Highness." ”

Jiang Lili laughed, "I didn't expect that Nanyang Wangfu was really good." At the end, he asked, "Have you killed you?"

It seemed a little stupid to wake up to this question, and he hurriedly waved his hand to stop the jailer's reply, and said, "Needless to say, I have my own calculations in my heart. ”

The jailer did not dare to laugh.

At this moment, the sound of talking woke up the woman who was sleeping, and the woman raised her head to look at Jiang Lili, a little puzzled by this young and unfamiliar face.

Jiang Lili asked, "What's your name?"

The woman snorted coldly and didn't reply.

Jiang Li sighed, "Have you ever heard of the poison that first festered the ten fingers, and then the abdomen was empty?"

The woman gritted her teeth, "If you want to kill, you can chop it up!"

Jiang Lili banged on the iron fence with great interest, and suddenly said: "Give her ten catties of fingertips tomorrow, I have an antidote there, and if she dies, she will be cured, and she will continue to work after she is cured!"

After saying that, Jiang Lili walked to the front, and the woman's scolding came from behind him: "Da Sui lackey, don't die well!

The jailer cautiously asked, "Your Highness, we don't have so many finger poisons here!"

Jiang Lili replied: "Where do I have such idle time to care about her? Tomorrow you can get some flour and spray it on her face to scare her!"

The jailer smiled, "Your Highness is really a smart person who has never been seen in eternity!"

"That's it. ”

It didn't take long for the jailer to pause, point to a small cubicle in front of him, and say, "Elder Qin is inside, so the villain won't go in with the adults." ”

Jiang Lili snorted, and then asked again: "That person's cultivation is useless, right?"

The jailer replied, "Naturally, it is going to be abolished, and I have already penetrated the man's pipa bone with a bone nail, and I can't use three points of strength." There is also a fine iron fence with the thickness of a fist, which will not hurt His Highness for half a point!"

Jiang Lili nodded and walked inside very cautiously.

He only heard a cough, and in front of him there was an old man with gray hair and a shrewd look in his eyes.

"Your Highness, you shouldn't have come to this Nanyang Palace!"

Jiang Lili sneered and sat down facing Qin Lao, "Do you think I want to come to this Nanyang Palace? I didn't want to come in the first place, but you want to kill me, don't you? ”

Qin Lao sighed, "I don't want to kill you, Your Highness." ”

Jiang Lili raised his eyebrows and waited for the following.

"If I wanted to kill you, you would have been in a different place that day. I only used fifty percent of my strength to knock you unconscious, giving others the illusion that you were dead. But I didn't expect the princess to see your corpse, I can't help it. ”

Jiang Lili laughed, "Aren't you pleading with me? Is there still this kind of ability to speak in the world? If I die on the Danyang Tower, nothing will happen." But if I'm not dead, you're going to say that your subordinates are merciful?" After that, Jiang Lili laughed sadly again, "Don't I have to thank you?"

"Hurt Your Highness, I am already dead. Old Qin's lips trembled slightly, "It's just that His Royal Highness really shouldn't come to this Nanyang Palace." ”

Jiang Lili squinted slightly, "Why?"

"Since Your Highness has been in exile for more than ten years, why don't you continue to wander? Now the situation in Cheng'an has become a certainty, but the arrival of Your Highness is like a stone thrown into a clear pool, it is a variable. Therefore, the Cheng'an magnates need to reshuffle their cards, and the interests of some people will eventually be touched, and when the time comes, there will be more people who want to kill His Royal Highness, and those who want to use this to plot the Nanyang Palace's Mansion will be ready to move again! And the Nanyang Palace, which has finally settled down, will also be in chaos. Originally, the prince had already become the king of wealth and leisure, but that day, Yao Guoshi's actions in Luoyang had already brought the prince to the forefront again, and at this time, His Royal Highness returned to the palace. Don't say whether His Royal Highness will cause any trouble, just say that if some sinister villains use His Highness to endanger the palace, the prince is in danger. ”

"Therefore, whether it is for His Highness himself or for the Nanyang Palace, His Highness should not come. ”

Jiang Lili's eyes were gloomy, "But now that I'm forced by you, how can I say this?"

Old Qin sighed, "Is it the old slave's fault?"

"Should you kill me?"

"No, it's time to leave the princess and take Her Royal Highness away to fly high!"

Jiang Lili asked again: "Leaving the princess, what about Sima Lan? Don't you say that I forgot, didn't you grow up watching the person who claimed to be my father? How can you obey that Sima Lan's words?"

"It's just to repay the kindness of the Sima family. ”

Jiang Lili was silent for a long time, and suddenly sneered, "The matter has come to this point, you can say whatever you want, but I don't believe a word!

Qin Lao smiled bitterly: "There is no way. ”

Jiang Lili smiled, "Do you eat wine?"

Qin Lao was stunned and smashed his mouth, "Does Your Highness have it?"

"No!" Jiang Lili replied categorically.

Qin Lao was slightly disappointed and didn't reply.

Jiang Lili roared loudly outside, and after a while, the jailer trotted over with a jar of wine.

Jiang Lili took the wine jar and tore the lid open, and there was a rich aroma of wine spreading in the air, and he smiled, "Now there is!"

Qin Lao swallowed a mouthful of saliva and tentatively said to His Highness.

Jiang Lili looked at Qin Lao's eyes and smiled, put the jar of wine outside the prison, stood up, patted his buttocks, and strode out, "Whoever dares to give this old man wine, I will kill his head!"
